Hong Kong - Top 5 Hong Kong-style Milk Tea

Apart from being synonymous with Dim Sum (we found some pretty awesome ones at Lin Heung Tea House), Hong Kong is also known for her 'silk stocking' milk tea (絲襪奶茶). Black tea is put in a sackcloth bag before hot water is added to brew the tea, and it is the sackcloth bag that results in a smooth texture and a richer taste. Milk tea is a popular drink in Hong Kong, and can be found at the dining table be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. Here, we list our top 5 favourite milk tea in Hong Kong:

1. Lan Fong Yuen (蘭芳園)

2 Gage Street Central Hong Kong
